It may be obvious for some, but I'd like to be sure: It's the free "2 mailboxes" included with each domain registration that are soon removed?

I would have to pay for those 2 mail addresses associated with my domain if I stay with Gandi, is that correct?

(I do not use there web interfaces, I access my accounts via POP3/IMAP)

SomaFM is one of the sites I like to donate to when I can. I also use their Amazon affiliate link as an Amazon bookmark. Drone Zone has been my main background music when working for a couple of years now!

How exactly, I don't know the details. But there is a built-in "synchronize" feature.

I lost a lot of weight pretty quickly a few years ago. I gained some back, so I can't say my tip is "sustainable", but it worked very well at the time.

Most people agree that cutting calories is the key, and exercise helps. No magic. But one major fact that is too often overlooked is the mental aspect and how to persist with your diet until you have lost the weight you want.

My trick was to target a very specific date. Let's say 3 months from now, at 10:00 AM. I wrote down that date, say "June 10 at 10:00 am".

Then I swore to myself that, until that very specific date, I would not cheat. Not once. Ever. I would not eat any meal that is not specifically designed to cut calories. I would not eat any snacks other than those I had already selected as allowed.

Then I started the diet with that date in mind.

Having that immutable target date constantly in my mind helped me a lot in resisting temptations to eat more during the diet. As soon as a thought like "Yum, that would be so good!" popped into my brain, it was immediately stopped and rejected as unacceptable.

Good luck!

I think my story is the same as many reluctant people: I had Covid, at the very beginning of the pandemic. It was like a flu but I lost my sense of smell for several months.

Having Covid made me question whether or not I should get the vaccine. My body did fight the real disease, why should I inject myself with something that only tries to mimic the real disease? I started to do some research...

My current conclusion is that my immune system is better than that of any vaccinated person who has not contracted the actual virus.
